Amber Heard's new quiet 'life in exile' as she celebrates 'completing family'

Amber Heard's new quiet 'life in exile' as she celebrates 'completing family'

Daily Mirror12-05-2025

Following her explosive court battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp, actress Amber Heard has opted for a 'life of isolation' in Spain and has since welcomed twins to the 'Heard gang'
It's been nearly three years since Amber Heard, 39, and Johnny Depp, 61, went head-to-head in a court case that captured huge amounts of attention worldwide. The details of the formerly married couple's life together were pored over as allegations of defamation were heard in the civil case - and Amber in particular received a huge amount of hate from online trolls as Depp's name was cleared.
These days, the Aquaman actress's days look pretty different from the A-list lifestyle she was once embroiled in, with Amber now enjoying a quiet life pretty much under the radar in Spain - where she has just welcomed twin babies to her family.

In a post marking Mother's Day in the US, the actress revealed the exciting news that she has now become a mum-of-three, with her eldest child Oonagh Paige, born in 2021 to a surrogate, now a big sister. "Mother's Day 2025 will be one I'll never forget. This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I've strived to build for years.

"Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hands (and my heart) full," Amber wrote in the post on Instagram.
"When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever. I thought I couldn't possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!
"Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life. I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully.
"To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always, A x"
The actress, who came out as bisexual in 2010, first moved to Mallorca, Spain, in the immediate aftermath of her court case with her ex-husband, which saw the jury award £12 million ($13m) to the Pirates of the Caribbean star in damages. Depp first brought a defamation claim against his ex-wife after she wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post that claimed she had been a victim of domestic abuse, despite the fact she never named her famous ex-husband in the article.

Heard then countersued Depp - and was awarded £2 million for one of her three claims. Johnny Depp's legal team later confirmed that his ex-wife had paid him £820,000 ($1 million) in a settlement for the defamation case.
Amber, who has kept her dating life underwraps since her court battle, has since moved to Madrid from Majorca, where she is said to have "integrated" and keeps a relatively "low profile" in her affluent neighbourhood that is said to be inhabited by a number of big names. A source is reported as telling the MailOnlin e: "She lives here and I often see her walking her daughter to school in the mornings.
"She wears a cap and sunglasses and normal clothes and keeps a low profile. She lives here in peace, this is a neighbourhood filled with famous people, including football players, but no one bothers each other, I think that's why she likes it - she has completely integrated into the community."

For her part, Amber told the press last year, "I love Spain so much," and added when asked if she would like to remain living in her new home: "Yes, I hope so. Yes, I love living here."
However, whilst she now feels so positive about her new life in Madrid, the circumstances of her exit from the US were less than ideal, even referred to as the actress being "exiled" in some reports, with a source saying - per Grazia - that the chaotic aftermath of the trial left Heard with no choice but to leave.
"Her isolation from the world in which she used to inhabit is quite jarring when you consider she's taken that step back because of the trauma and distress her marriage, the divorce and the ensuing legal drama has caused her. Amber was once an A-list star, and this has all taken a lot out of her, to the point where she has lost passion for living that Hollywood life," they explained.

Another insider told the magazine that the sheer level of Depp's popularity has had a huge impact on Amber's acting career, and the circles within which she would now be welcomed. "Depp has a lot of loyal friends and is hugely popular and powerful," they explained, "Amber knows that there are certain franchises and studios where she won't be welcome."
A-list names like Penelope Cruz, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, and many more have not hesitated to throw their public support behind Depp, despite the myriad of controversial allegations that have followed him in recent years, with his career going from strength to strength.
Amber, on the other hand, has only acted in one independent movie since the trial concluded.

Orlando Bloom undergoes £10k treatment to remove microplastics and toxic chemicals from his blood

Orlando Bloom underwent a £10k treatment to remove microplastics and toxic chemicals from his blood at Clarify Clinic on Monday. The actor, 48, told his fans on Instagram he was getting the two hour procedure at the clinic in Cavendish Square, Marylebone. While he was connected to an apheresis machine with single use, sterilized, transparent tubing, he posed for a photo to promote the treatment. He wrote: 'Thanks for the help @clarifyclinics - a new way of removing microplastics and toxic chemicals from our bodies'. The treatment can effectively reduce inflammation by removing microplastics, forever chemicals, and toxins from your blood with CE marked Clari by Marker. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. A single session of the Clari procedure start at £9,750. Last week, Orlando teased the possibility of 'getting the band back together' for a new Pirates Of The Caribbean movie on This Morning. It's been eight years since the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie - 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales. Orlando shot to fame as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings franchise, and quickly parlayed that into playing Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. There has been talk of a sixth film ever since Dead Me Tell No Tales debuted, with a report in April claiming the next film would be a reboot, possibly without Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. While nothing has been confirmed about a sixth film by Disney yet, producer Jerry Bruckheimer hinted last year that there were two separate Pirates movies being developed, one with Johnny and one without. While promoting his new film Deep Cover with Bryce Dallas Howard and Nick Mohammed, he was asked about the future of the franchise. 'Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely...' and when asked if it was about 'availability,' he said it was, 'nothing like that.' Orlando recently appeared on This Morning, promoting his new film Deep Cover with Bryce Dallas Howard and Nick Mohammed, where he was asked about the future of the franchise 'I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like, I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together. 'That would be great, but there are always different ideas, and so we'll see where it lands,' Orlando revealed. The franchise clearly still holds a beloved place in Orlando's heart, since he responded to his co-star Keira Knightley's recent comments about the films. She told The Times back in November that the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was, 'making and breaking' her simultaneously. 'I was seen as s*** because of them, and yet because they did so well, I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for,' Keira said. She added that they were, 'the most successful films I'll ever be a part of, and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they're a very confused place in my head.' Orlando responded in Entertainment Weekly, stating, ''It was such a huge moment in time that is almost like… it feels almost like another lifetime now.' 'I definitely understand where Keira was coming from, and she does wonderful things,' the actor said, 'I have a lot of positive takeaways.' The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise - spawned from the hit Disney theme parks ride of the same name - has grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide. It was also the first ever movie franchise to spawn two separate $1 billion films - Dead Man's Chest ($1.1 billion) and On Stranger Tides ($1.046 billion). While Johnny has disappeared from the spotlight for the past few years after his legal battles with Amber Heard, it would be interesting to see if he would in fact return as Captain Jack Sparrow for a new Pirates movie.

UK's favourite 'Dadisms' unveiled - from 'resting their eyes' to dad jokes

A poll of 2,000 adults found that while Brits love to moan about their dads' cringey behaviour, three quarters wouldn't choose to change them if they could The nation's favourite 'Dadisms' have been unveiled, with classics such as feigning sleep by "resting their eyes", repeating the same tales, and of course, dad dancing topping the list. A survey of 2,000 adults revealed that despite Brits often grumbling about their dads' embarrassing antics, a whopping three quarters wouldn't change them. Other beloved Dadisms encompass DIY around the house, cracking cheesy jokes, and claiming a particular chair that no one else is permitted to occupy. Napping on the sofa, uttering phrases like 'back in my day...' or 'when I was your age...', and moaning about the price of things also received honourable mentions. ‌ ‌ Despite these classic Dadisms, an impressive 76% professed they aren't embarrassed by this behaviour, choosing instead to indulge their fathers – with 62% likely to chuckle at their jokes, regardless of their humour value. This acceptance might be due to the fact that 85% admit to indulging in Dadisms themselves – with the most prevalent being complaining about the cost of things (28%), dozing off on the sofa (25%), and using the thumbs up emoji (17%). A spokesperson from Moonpig, which commissioned the research, said: "They seem to have so many universal behaviours, as if they've been given a manual on what makes a dad a dad. This Father's Day we want to celebrate all father figures and the little quirks that make us love them so much." The other ingredients that make up a classic father figure were also revealed, with top traits identified as hardworking, caring, supportive, and reliable. Dad-centric hobbies included watching football, gardening, and DIY – as well as travelling, reading, and going to the pub with his mates. According to data from the most cherished possessions of any paternal figure are likely to be his car, toolbox, and family photographs. Interestingly, more respondents found their fathers unintentionally funny than intentionally hilarious. ‌ To honour the father figures in their lives, 73% celebrate Father's Day annually and to mark this day, they are most likely to buy him a gift, a card, and go out for a meal. The top factors influencing the selection of the perfect card were identified as humour, a fun and personal design, and a sentimental message about how great he is. Interestingly, over half claimed they are more likely to buy a humorous card to celebrate their dad on Father's Day than their mum on Mother's Day, perhaps because 73% hope to see their favourite Dadisms referenced on the cover. ‌ The spokesperson added: "Our father figures can be such a source of inspiration, support, and laughter – which is why it's so important to celebrate them every chance we get. "A heartfelt message, inside joke, or personalised reference to the things they love on their Father's Day card can make all the difference to letting them know how much you care. "So this Father's Day, take a moment to revel in those eye-roll-worthy Dadisms and the little things that make your bond so special – and say it all with a card that's as unique as he is." TOP 30 FAVOURITE 'DADISMS': Fixing things around the house Pretending they're not sleeping just 'resting their eyes' Falling asleep on the sofa Telling bad/corny jokes Saying 'back in my day…' or 'when I was your age…' Telling the same story multiple times Having a favourite chair that no one else is allowed to sit in Dad dancing Complaining about the cost of things Complaining about what you're watching on TV but then sitting down to watch it anyway Starting conversations with strangers Sending the thumbs up emoji Doing a dad grunt when sitting down or standing up Always coming round to your house with a toolbox Giving unsolicited advice Making jokes to waiters Cleaning his car for fun Always ordering the same meal at a restaurant Wearing socks with sandals Having questionable dress sense Doing the head-nod greeting to strangers Tinkering with something that isn't broken Being obsessed with the water/electricity meter Not using emojis properly Talking through a film you're trying to watch Claiming to be great at BBQ-ing Calling you by your sibling's name Having a 'usual' in the pub Taking atrocious selfies Farting a lot

Orlando Bloom teases the possibility of 'getting the band back together' for a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie

It's been eight years since the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie - 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales - and Orlando Bloom is ready to return to the franchise. Bloom shot to fame as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings franchise, and quickly parlayed that into playing Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. There has been talk of a sixth film ever since Dead Me Tell No Tales debuted, with a report in April claiming the next film would be a reboot, possibly without Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.
